I am a student of a medicine. I would like to know something which I can not find in my books. It is about the memory loss. Actually I would like to know what the difference between dementia and mild cognitive impairment is. I have an exam in couple of days and I would appreciate any help about this matter.
Those books you are reading should be updated. mild cognitive impairment is a recent term that describes the people who has problems with their memory but they don't have dementia. This condition is very important to be noticed by a specialist. It is important because early diagnoses can prevent Alzheimer's disease or dementia.
